Eso The good the bad and the ugly

astro74 · October 2014

You must mention one of each with an explanation.
The Good: The quests, I played alot..ALOT of mmos in my days and not in one game i could bring myself to level up an alt to a decent level. In eso not only i did the Cadwells on my main but also started an alt and having a really good time levelling him. The quests are really nice and the pVe can be challenging at times. Very good job Zenimax!

The bad: The lag in pvp. Imbalances altough annoying I can live with but when i die just because i cant weapon swap or im hitting a button 10 times with no result it really takes the fun out of it.

The ugly: Apart from the apperance of one of my mules..not so much actually. Sometimes I just stop playing just to look at the view. Some places are really nice.

Ok Your turn.

Good: Huge, beautiful world. Exploring and questing in it is what I really like about the game.
Bad: My keyboard can't take the kind of stress answering this one would bring upon it.
Ugly: Everyone's hideous characters. I've seen some reaaaaal ugly characters out there.

The Good:
The quests, the world in general

The Bad:
The bugs, the lag, the bugs that get fixed and then return, like a bad curry!

The Ugly:
Cut and Paste replies which clearly indicate that CS didn't read the ticket at all & Reddit is more likely to have an answer than anything here

Good. Quests and stories I like the way the quests are presented and the voice work
Bad lag some bugs
Ugly cyrodill crashing and rolling back giving free scolls back

Good: Most of the world is really nice to explore, questing. Tastes like Elder Scrolls

Bad: Lag, bugs, balance. Did I mention lag? Weapon swapping should work too.

Ugly: Lack of real direction from Zos. In my humble opinion(and it is humble)it's like they don't know which way to drive the game. Poor communication from them too.

Good: The game, the world, the quests, the story, the art, crafting, exploration, other players (mostly).

Bad: Inventory Management

Ugly: Inventory Management

Hamfast · October 2014

The Good: The quests, the world, the feel of the game and the people

The Bad: Lag, Bugs and drop-outs (Folks who left soon after the game went live).

The Ugly: The drop rates on items like Motifs (Imperial, and Rare), Recipes and other rare items that end up selling for massive amounts... the People (they know who they are and like it being on this list)... Oh, and the face in the mirror, he gets uglier by the day.

G: The quests, the world, the storyline.

B: The Effing LAG (PVE & PVP) .. the lack of keyboard response ... game is unplayable because of this ... my tough DK has PTSD and is reduced to a quivering wreck who prefers to pick flowers and herbs fer cryin' out loud ... when he should be facing trolls. Unfortunately a squib can kill him because they use the LAG SKILL LINE; which is unbeatable btw.

U: ESO is beautiful to look at ... but the real fugly is my face in the mirror after I suffer an ignominious LAG induced spate of rigor mortise.

The good: Have to agree, over all the quests and storyline are a solid entry in the Elder Scrolls series.

The bad: But (there's always a but -- or butt) what happened to the 'Radiant Story' from Skyrim? Every single quest in ESO is exactly the same every single time. Altmer get no different options than Orcs? Argonians are still captured as slaves by Dunmer yet treat them as allies? About the only "random" questing you get are the rare "Collect X ingredients" quests and those are poorly implemented. Which leads to...

The ugly: The limited replay value of the game. Playing thru Cadwell's Gold means one toon pretty much can see/do everything in Tamriel at least from a PvE point of view. Unlike Skyrim which I sunk thousands of hours into I'm pretty much burned out on ESO after a few hundred hours. I've got only one toon slot left that hasn't completed the climb to veteran ranks and frankly I can't convince myself to take the time to do it. What's the point, he'll see *EXACTLY* the same stuff every other toon saw and do it pretty much the same way. There's no joy left in it.

good:Tamriel explore, fight system
bad: group finder
ugly: missing sailing, worst end of Cadvel's story

The Good: The immersive world that I can't wait to play in whenever I get the chance.

The Bad: Trying to get a group together at any time but the peakiest of peak hours.

The Ugly: Trying desperately to read as much of the dialogue and books in group content to have some idea of the story without being left behind by my group that unfailingly just wants to do a speed run.

The Good: The same as others have stated; the immersive world that keeps sucking you in deeper and deeper until you have seen it all, and even then, sometimes you want to go back to where you started.

Also finding GOOD people that group up with you and make things fun.

The Bad: Trying to find groups to do dungeons with, whether it is Craglorn or when you are higher level going back and doing the other Group and Public dungeons to get the achievements.

The Ugly: Jerks like [SNIP] who I ran into in Rivenspire (NA) server this past evening, who felt just because my PC was level 46, I shouldn't be in that zone.

I was looking for one other person to group with to go through the COH Dungeon to get the achievements and skill points before heading off to Coldharbour. This dude was also looking for people to join his group. I responded to his LFG post but dude said I was too "2 High. Wouldn't be fun". I could understand that.. told him if he changed his mind to let me know. He then got all uppity and asked " What are you even doing in this zone? Skyshards?" He then put on his ignore list.

Elitist attitudes like that guys really make people wonder why they bother grouping at all and have a tendency to drive players away from the game. I took a screen shot of the convo too. I just figured he was a 12yr old and continued looking for someone, which I did find a few minutes later.
